A gun has a muzzle speed of 80 meters per second. What angle of elevation should be used to hit an object 180 meters away? Negle

ct air resistance and use g=9.8m/sec2 as the acceleration of gravity.
The answer must be in radians.

I found: angle=1/2arcsin (180*9.8)/(80^2), but it was not correct.

Hi. Your working equation is correct. The general equation to be used is 

Range = sin(2 \alpha )( \frac{ v^{2} }{g} )

However, make sure that when you input this in the calculator, it is in the mode of rad. 

The answer is 0.14 rad.

Knowing the initial velocity and angle, the horizontal range formula is given by   R= V^2sin(2teta) / g, so we can get 
sin(2teta)=Rg/V^2
sin(2teta)= (180 x 9.8)/ 80^2= 0.27, sin(2teta)=0.27, 2teta=arcsin(0.27)=15.66, so teta=15.66/2

teta=7.83°

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?​
Harman [31]

It is dangerous to stand close to railroad tracks when a rapidly moving commuter train passes. Explain why atmospheric pressure would push you toward the moving train. Water pressure inside a hose nozzle can be less than atmospheric pressure due to the Bernoulli effect.

Pls brainliest!? :)

a baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. the carriage with the baby has a mass of 1.5 kg. the carriage
Serga [27]
Height of baby carriage from ground = 21m

Mass of carriage with baby = 1.5 kg

The carriage has potential energy by virtue of its height.

Potential energy = mgh = 1.5×10×21 = 315 J

Hence, potential energy of the carriage is 315 Joule.

The ceiling of your lecture hall is probably covered with acoustic tile, which has small holes separated by about 5.9 mm. Using
timurjin [86]

Answer:

45.88297 m

Violet

Explanation:

x = Gap between holes = 5.9 mm

\lambda = Wavelength = 527 nm

D = Diameter of eye = 5 mm

L= Distance of observer from holes

From Rayleigh criteria we have the relation

\frac{x}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{xD}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{5.9\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 527\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=45.88297\ m

A person could be 45.88297 m from the tile and still resolve the holes

Resolving them better means increasing the distance between the observer and the holes. It can be seen here that the distance is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Violet has a lower wavelength than red so, violet light would resolve the holes better.
